Taco Air Scoop’s enlarged design with internal baffles slows the water velocity in order to separate the air
from solution. The air scoop also provides an economic way to integrate air elimination with the
connection of either a plain steel or diaphragm expansion tank.

Purpose
The Taco Air Scoop
®
is specifically designed
to provide a noiseless, air-free hydronic
heating, cooling or combination system, by
efficiently separating out the air from the
water in any of these systems.
Operation
Air being lighter than water, it travels along
the upper portion of a horizontal pipe in
low velocity hydronic systems. As the air
and water enter the Air Scoop their
velocity decreases, permitting the air
bubbles to be scooped up by the baffle
and directed to the top of the chamber.
The air reaching the top of the air scoop
is either immediately vented through a
Hy-Vent
®
or it moves into a conventional
plain steel expansion tank (models 433,
434, 435, 436, and 437), if used. Should the
air completely fill the plain steel tank and
back down into the Air Scoop, the excess
will be removed by the Hy-Vent without
disturbing the operation of the system.
Size and Connections
Taco Air Scoops are available in 1” through
3” cast iron threaded and 4” flanged cast
iron. Each Air Scoop has an 1/8” vent
connection on top for the installation of a
Taco 400-3 or 416-1 Hy-Vent, and a 1/2”
bottom tapping for a diaphragm expansion
tank. The 1 1/2” through 4” Air Scoops
also have an additional top tapping for the
connection of a plain steel expansion tank.
